Meta has disbanded a team of experts it formed several years ago to help mitigate the negative impacts of its products, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The team of dozens of engineers, ethicists and others was intended to spot long-term problems with the company's products (including Facebook and its VR headsets), and to take action to keep potential harm from becoming actual harm.
A Meta spokesperson said Meta is still committed to the goals of the Responsible Innovation team, but believed it was better to devote teams to handle specific issues instead of having one team cover a wide array of issues.
